The Works. The Imperial Edition, out of series from a limitation of 100 sets for subscribers only, this set marked "Q" and handsomely bound by the smart New York trade bindery, Stikeman & Co.Disraeli "was to attempt an ambitious variety of literary forms before he settled on the novel... a combination of fascination and amused contempt for high society, both social and political, a clever vein of irony, shrewd observation of personal and political manoeuvre, an apparently genuine sympathy for poverty and oppression, and a brisk readability characterized his novels" (The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature).
